Five Weeks in a Balloon
Five Weeks in a Balloon
Gently Weathered (Fair)
Dr. Samuel Fergusson proposes an ambitious crossing of Africa by hydrogen balloon, accompanied by his friend Dick Kennedy and servant Joe. Jules Verne’s Five Weeks in a Balloon combines nineteenth-century adventure, imagined technology, geography, danger, and the era’s fascination with exploration. As one of Verne’s earliest novels, it establishes many features associated with his later work: a bold scientific premise, resourceful travelers, carefully described machinery, and a journey into places his contemporary readers regarded as unknown.
